macco88 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 mines was a year older Jay Rodriguez - Scored 31 goals in the league in 19 starts and 7 sub appereances. He only scored in one sub appereance. Took him one season to become a club legend at Burnley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Second youngest player to have ever played for Derby. Youngest ever goal scorer. Fans player of the year 2 years running. 132 goals in 211 appearances. 81 goals in 92 appearances in the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macco88 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Now that is beastly! and he still never made the England squad to go to the European Championships. They opted to call up Danny Sturidge who played around the same and scored only 6 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Gillett didn't make the England Squad for the World Cup 2 years earlier... Apparently he wasn't needed even though he was the most prolific English striker at the time, had 3 goals in his 2 starts for England and was England's best young prospect. They instead opted to go for Andy Poole... A very average striker who doesn't score a lot or set up goals... The best part was that England's biggest problem in the tournament was a "lack of goals!"

macco88 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 It's the same as it is in real life, Big team bias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macco88 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Some poetic justice for Jay lol. England went out in the group stages only scoring 2 goals. The manager didnt get the sack aswell. In real life if he left the FW player of the year and european golden boot winner out of his squad and they did that bad there would be a national outcry in England.
